French painter Eugene Bourdin (1824-1898) was one of the first landscape painters to paint outside. This painting, called Place Saint-Marc a Venise, Vue du Grand Canal, shows some interesting clouds in the sky above Venice, Italy. There are two types – one higher than the other. The clouds that are higher in the atmosphere might be altocumulus or stratocumulus. The clouds closest to ground level look like cumulus clouds. Corel
